Season 2 arena weapon. Looks visually the same as season 1 weapons.

yeah but hits like a mack truck.

I actually think this is better then Deep Thunder for Warriors. Sure it doesn't have the "Chance on hit" to stun target for 4 seconds. But what mainly procs, is the Mace Talent. In the Arms Talent Tree. Plus it gives you extra rage.

This weapon has better stats, And more DPS.

atleast this is my oppinion, I'm upgrading to this after Deep Thunder.

i can't understand why they added hit rating...but on another note.

I am an enhancement shaman and I currently wield Deep Thunder, soon to be Stormherald. Does anyone have any idea if this weapon beats the crafted ones and can offer some sort of reasons why or why not?

cheers

In my opinion, This is much easier to get than Deep Thunder/Storm Herald, That's probably just me though, I mean grind honor for a bit, get Veteran's Gear, then get into an arena team, 5v5 would be best bet, then Save points for this, getting arena points after would be cake imo.

latest update from patch 2.3, this cost 3750 arena points, if you need to find out how many arena points you'll earn this week or what team rating you need for a specific amount of arena points, there is a great Arena Calculator that can do both ways, converting rating->points and points->rating, the calculator is located at: http://www.ratingarenapoints.com

i can't understand why they added hit rating...

You need exactly 79 hit rating in order to never miss your attacks (white or special) when using a 2H weapon against a player of the same level at level 70.

You need even more hit rating if you're dual wielding, or if the enemy has a -hit talent.

That's why the +hit.

This one is better then both thunder and deep thunder in the sense that its sheer dps out does them both. However storm herald has more dps, and is slower which means your attacks recieve more of an attack power bonus and therefor do more damage, not to mention that the stormheralds top end damage is much better xD (plus it has strength)

That being said, stormherald > Merciless gladiator's bonegrinder :P

Edit: of course... thats from a sheer dps perspective... for pvp this one is better even for its lacking damage stats sheerly because it is only slightly worse damage wise but includes resilience :P.

This item is an excellent choice for paladins or the rare shaman that wishes to go 2h. Also a good choice for warriors that are not blacksmiths. However, the top end, sheer DPS, stats, and proc on Stormherald make it a far superior weapon in the style of PvP that is fought today. That being said, Stormherald is also the best item that can be crafted by blacksmiths as of right now, so of course it's going to be better than an honor freebie. But spending the money to level BS for Stormherald is hardly worth it with Wrath around the corner if you happen to be a warrior. This weapon will give you an excellent boost in damage over what the average starting 70 has, or used to have. Overall, not the greatest weapon that can be obtained without high-end PvP or raiding, but one of the best to easily grab and start smashing some faces.
